They offered me the rights to Watchmen back, if I would agree to some dopey prequels and sequels
So I just told them that if they said that 10 years ago, when I asked them for that, then yeah it might have worked,” he said. “But these days I don’t want Watchmen back. Certainly, I don’t want it back under those kinds of terms.
Alan is Super Creepy looking..
See? But he’s brilliant.. and Hollywood movies made of his works (like The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen) always suck..
I was reading thru my Maker Magazine RSS Feed and came accross this open source project called OpenBTS, it’s a way for you to set up your own cellular GSM network in say.. a developing country so you can communicate via GSM phones for far far cheaper than using any traditional methods..
I think this is very very neat considering it also uses the opensource PBX project Asterisk, which I’d just love to use someplace to replace an aging PBX system in a company.. or allow for distributed VoIP in the home.
Not a newer car or a shinier car.. but a better car.. one that is smaller and far far more fuel efficient than the one I have.. I have the feeling that my next car (whenever I am done murdering my current one, which is a project that is currently well underway.. ) will be my last car powered by gas. But that doesn’t mean I need to keep trucking at below 40mpg.
These 2 cars are fine examples of what I need. A super cheap.. super efficient automobile.
This is a car which may soon be manufactured in India by joint effort from Renualt-Nissan and Indian car company Bajaj. It will cost only $3,000 and get a mileage of 70mpg.
Another car is the Tata Nano. I had talked about it earlier since it was supposed to go on sale in Europe. It’s even cheaper.. but gets less gas mileage.. they have a hybrid coming out but I have no Idea what the mpg is.
I wonder is a US car maker will be able to compete in this market and produce a car as cheaply…
In 1996 my then girlfriend Christy and I were visiting her mother and this little cat just would not leave us alone.. her mom said “she needs a good home take her.” so I did. Prior to Christy and I having Sarah, Kitty was more or less the closest thing we had to a kid.. After Sarah tho, the cat went outside..
A few years and a girlfriend later, kitty lived with me in a place or two.. but she wasn’t one to get along with other cats.. so eventually back to mom’s she went to live outside..
A couple of years ago, her health started to decline.. and a couple of weeks ago she started being treated for a growth on her face… mom made the decision to put her down this morning and she is now buried under a very nice Magnolia tree in her front yard with a very nice vew of the creek.
The GIMP is an Open Source Image Editor similar to Adobe’s Photoshop, in many ways it is as good as PS especially for the things that most people may do with it.. and especially for the Price as Gimp is Open it is Free.
I recently found a set of Podcasts by a German Teacher who speaks pretty good english named Rolf Steinort. His site is called Meet The Gimp. He posts tutorials on many of the features and bugs in Gimp, I’ve been listening to them for a while and it’s opened my mind to what can be done with Gimp and Photo manipulation.. I’d suggest if you are interested since Gimp is free and lets face it you can’t keep torrenting that Pirated copy of Adobe forever.. You try it..
